Why teams run bare metal in SLC
Dedicated performance
Your workload gets the whole machine: every core, all the memory and every drive. There is no hypervisor layer and no other tenant on the hardware.
A Mountain West location
Salt Lake City sits between the coasts and next to the Silicon Slopes tech corridor, which makes it a practical home for applications that serve users across the western states.
Control without the overhead
Reach the server out of band, reinstall from a template or boot a rescue environment, all from the same portal that handles your billing and support.
Predictable monthly pricing
Every plan has a published monthly price, and your servers appear on a single invoice with any other Platform DataBank services.
What teams run on it
Databases and analytics
Keep every core, all the memory and every drive for large databases, search clusters and analytics jobs that a shared host would throttle.
Regulated workloads
Run workloads that cannot share hardware with another tenant, with a NIST 800-88 wipe of every drive when you release the server.
Hybrid footprints
Pair dedicated servers with cloud VMs or colocation under one account, one portal and one monthly invoice.
How bare metal compares with shared cloud VMs
| Topic | Bare metal | Shared cloud VMs |
|---|---|---|
| Hardware | The whole server is yours | A virtual slice of a shared host |
| Performance | Consistent, with no neighbors on the hardware | Can vary with other tenants on the host |
| Pricing | A fixed monthly price per server | Usage based, so the bill moves with consumption |
| Control | Hardware-level access through the BMC | Limited to what the hypervisor exposes |
Included with every SLC server
BMC on every server
